SAMSUNG
GALAXY S5 ACTIVE
The beer-proof mobile carries
over all the hot features from the
standard GS5, only sporting a
more reinforced design capable
of sustaining hard bumps. Leave it
near the beer station or in pocket
when playing tackle football
without any worries of breaking it.
Also snap instant photos without
opening the camera app via
dedicated shutter button.
$200 (with two-year contract)
iGRILL MINI
No one is trying to scarf down
over or undercooked grub
before a game. Monitor the
temperature of your meats (it
includes two professional-grade
probes with the capability for
up to four probes) with the
Bluetooth-enabled thermometer,
as it pairs with any Apple or
Android device to keep tabs on
that chicken, burger, brisket or
smoked pork butt.
$39.99
MICROSOFT XBOX ONE
Besides playing Madden 15 on it, the Xbox One is also the only game
console to merge the NFL with your gaming. You can play a game
while still getting the latest highlights, breaking news and live stats and
scores on your screen. Or you can stream the game directly via the Xbox
One (some restrictions apply) with real-time updates for your favorite
teams or fantasy players coming through.
$400
BBQ DRAGON
Travel light and cook heavy with the world’s
first charcoal accelerator. The BBQ Dragon
uses fire-fueling oxygen to heat up your lump
or briquettes in less than 10 minutes. The
device can stoke your fires for about 3 hours
on a charge (rechargeable via the micro-USB
port) or runs on four AA batteries.
$50
BRAVEN BRV-BANK
Whether it’s inside or outside the stadium, you’ll need something to juice
up that smartphone. Braven’s multi-purpose 6000 mAh portable energy
bank not only powers up two devices simultaneously, but also doubles
as a flashlight, just in case any suspicious blackouts transpire…again.
$130
